Comment 28 for bug 430224

When chrooting on a broken system, I'd like at least to have a way to start the services manually. I don't care about supervision. Just that, for example, mysqld is started with the system defaults so that I can check it's state.

What about adding an option: `start --chroot <service_name>` where the service would be run with the /etc/defaults/<service-name> , but that would not fork/background.
